The Ring of Fire

Making the first interplanetary burn

Landing successful!

I was worried that, without any final engines to make a powered landing, the mission would fail at the last minute. Luckily, my other four parachutes slowed me to 7m/s, slow enough for my landing legs to absorb the shock.

Asymmetric rover deployal!

Asymmetry ftw

"Postcard From Laythe"

Literally. This shot was taken with a camera on the undercarriage of the rover, 5km from the lander. Walking on the sand dunes of Laythe is a pain in the ass.
